Steele references “Nurse Ratched,” a character from the 1975 film, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” Louise Fletcher won an Academy Award for the role.

Receptionurse Ratched wants to know why he didn’t just say so in the first place. She goes to call her boss.

Suddenly there is a sound of a gunshot from inside the office, to which Nurse Ratched reacts rather belatedly and with some indifference.

Steele and Laura, however, race into the office.

Oh, look. A corpse. Laura checks to make sure Dr. Bellows is dead.

Turns out he is.

As Receptionurse Ratched goes to call the police, Laura notices dead man is clutching something in his cold, dead fist.

It’s a not-very-elegant invitation: “You are cordially invited to spend the weekend in the Devil’s Playground.”

Well! An intriguing start to the episode, eh? Perhaps most mysterious, we have so far seen no credits. Where is the list of guest stars? Who wrote the script? When do our pals James Read and Janet DeMay get their due? So many mysteries already!
